seriously the opening track is just bollywood with american story vocals

>>71047676
Did you mean Panda? Deakin hasn't been with the band since the end of the CHz tour.

Peacemaker is the only bad track and even then it's still better than the majority of PW desu

Nobody cares, go away

Peacemaker is clearly the highlight track here though. What the fuck are you idiots on about

>>71048428
this isnt a safe space kid. instead of whining make me see why this is good

>>71048433
it's pretty good but nothing is better than Jimmy Mack

>>71048436
What? It's one of the least creative and most predictable tracks they've ever made, instrumentally and songwriting-wise.

>>71048434
Yeah it isn't a safe space, it also is a discussion board so instead of baiting how about you say why you don't like it.

>opinions are bait meme
Just because you are sincere in your opinion, doesn't mean it's not bait. Anything that's meant to grab replies does.

>>71048445
it is fairly straightforward, but I wouldn't say it lacks creativity and they executed it pretty much perfectly imo. reminds me of Brother Sport quite a bit.

>>71047220
Kinda felt like killing myself yesterday, good thing I didn;t. I like this EP.

>>71048467
I still think that it's okay, just not as boundary-pushing as I would expect from AnCo

>>71048445
It does a lot with a little, something that has been misssing from their music lately. It's a great performance.

>>71048480
interesting chart. don't agree with some of it and I feel like a bit more emphasis should be placed on album 'cycles,' but I've been meaning to do a comprehensive flowchart for AnCo+side projects for a while.
>>71048492
fair enough. it's certainly not what I'd describe as boundary pushing, it's just very enjoyable to me.

>>71048528
>I've been meaning to do a comprehensive flowchart for AnCo+side projects for a while
Do it. The one I posted it dated, we need an update.

>>71048553
I just noticed that one is missing Young Prayer so now I'm even more inclined to. might have to throw in some of the best live recordings/unreleased tracks as well (assuming I don't just get lazy like I usually do.)
do there happen to be any sites anyone knows of for doing flowcharts and shit, or will I have to do it by hand in an image editor?

Peacemaker = Goalkeeper > Kinda Bonkers >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Jimmy Mack

>>71048664
Doesn't seem too hard to just do it in paint. Might not look as good, but whatever. Photoshop or Paint.net might also work. Paint.net is free.

>>71048445
I mean, it is a cover. As far as covers go, they killed it.

>>71048269
thanks nigger

>>71048886
damn so close

>>71048804
yeah, I'll probably do it in paint.NET, I just figured I may as well ask since it seems like there has to be something better for flowcharts.
>>71048886
no problemo

So far it's like a bit better version of PW

If PW was 6/10 then this is 6.2/10

Kinda Bonkers felt like a calmer version of Floridada
Peacemaker isn't bad. It has those calming feels to it that should be in the album to balancing the more energetic songs. The vocal effect is still annoying but they done it better than anything they had done in the album.
Goalkeeper is kinda lackluster but thankfully it's short and the background noise can be interesting.
Jimmy Mack is okay.

Overall just like the album, 6 outta 10.

>>71049061
Wait, shit. Jimmy Mack is actually good. 7 outta 10.

>>71047809
After listening to Sleep Cycle vs the rest of their post Centipede material, it's pretty fucking clear where the talent was.

AnCo without Deakin is like the Beatles without George Harrison. He wasn't the focal point of the band, but his presence and musical sense was pretty clearly the thing that held Panda and Avey in check and guided their disparate sounds together towards greatness.

This is much better than PW. Has more energy and less gimmicks (although peacemaker isn't that amazing)

>>71049161
so you're going by one album cycle instead of judging by, say, MPP + Fall Be Kind which also didn't have Deakin? seems a bit one-sided desu
>>71049184
Peacemaker may be the best on the RP for me, though it's hard to choose. Jimmy Mack probably beats it.

>>71049161
Their non Deak material is fine, but yes, he's more important than most give him credit for.

yo Jimmy Mack is fucking great

>>71049161
CHz is better than what people credited for, too.

Jimmy Mack is solidifying itself as a top 5 anco song for me.

is it just me or is anyone hearing the seinfeld baseline in goalkeeper

>>71049287
I hear a bassline but it doesn't sound like the seinfeld bassline

>>71049267
T H I S
>Today's Supernatural
>Applesauce
>Father Time
>Mercury Man
These are all great songs yet people shit on CHz like it's the worse thing they ever put out.

Peacemaker is so good, holy shit.

>>71049329
CHz got shat on because everyone got an impossibly high expectation from it. Ever since Sung Tongs, they kept making better shit on each albums and CHz just dropped so hard from MPP and everyone just felt massively disappointed by it.

I like it. It's actually my most listened Anco album according last.fm, I think. It has some of my favorite Anco songs (Today's Supernatural, Applesauce, Wide Eyed, New Town Burnout). Compared to their other albums it might not as great, but by no means it's a bad album let alone the worst one from them. But then again I liked PW so much and people hated that album too.

>>71049393
>Peacemaker is so good, holy shit.

Redpill me please, it's the most underwhelming track on the ep for me.

Fall Be Kind > The Painters = Water Curses > Prospect Hummer

Debate me

>>71048269
Is it real?

>>71049409
It's genuinely comfy ass shit. It's so much refreshing compared to hectic songs from PW. It's also a return form to their more ambient materials like No More Running and Cuckoo Cuckoo for example.

>>71049465
Currently listening to it. Seems legit.

Just smoked my wake n bake bowl in bed to the FLAC, it's pretty good. No bad tracks, but I didn't dislike Painting With either, and this is definitely a companion piece.
Even though AnCo's current pop phase loses some of the magic through the lack of the distinctive atmosphere and ambience that they achieved with quiet passages and extended track lengths on their older material, they're still tapping into something unique with it. The synthetic production is more lush and polished than anything previous and the sonic palette is definitely all theirs' alone. Sounds like music from the wacky future desu senpai
But all the recent material sounds similar enough to each other (in songwriting and technique) that they will have to evolve yet again for the next phase for it not to be redundant

>>71049465

Yep. I was a bit surprised that it was only 28 MB, but the EP is 13:25 mins long, so it's cool.

>>71049465
I just reuploaded the getleaks.net uploaded.to link (which in turn seems to have been taken from passtheheadphones) to mega. it sounds pretty legit to me.

>>71049409
The instrumentation and melody just work really well together. It feels wonky without actually being too odd in an abrasive or uncomfortable way. It's kind of like Pulleys for me, which in my opinion is one of Animal Collective's best tracks from a very good album.

>>71049516
PW era is probably one of their experimental era. I think Geo once said in the interview that they wanted to make a weird pop album and cut down most of their ambient stuff, which is why the songs are short. Not to mention, I think most of the materials were made in a short time, like a month, something they admit they had never done before.

Hopefully for their next album, they made something a bit more substantial and using all their time just to make a great album. And hopefully Deak come back too.

>>71049516
the great thing album anco is that each album has a completely different sound. even though centipede hz was also kind of disappointing it had a totally different style to painting with and every other anco album.

and yeah, like you said this ep was definitely a companion piece to PW, except I feel like this was the style they were going for but done right.

nevertheless it would be interesting to see what kind of sound they try and capture next. hopefully they'll actually pull it off right this time and not figure it out a year after its release.

Honestly would rather listen to this ripoff anco desu

>>71047595
>>literally leftovers of Painting With Numbers
You say this as if they don't do it with all their LPs.

>>71049625
Doesn't sound too bad. Really obvious purple bottle rip doe.

Oh yeah, it's very surprising they make another companion piece EP again. I thought they stopped doing that after that garbage shit called Monkey Been To Burntown EP.

>>71047835
(You)

>>71049625
he didn't even make a good song in ripping them off

>>71049708
Monkey Been To Burntown was all the work of other artists remixing them though. the shittiness wasn't the band's fault.

>>71049625
I don't understand how people can put shit like this out and not be ashamed.

>>71049747
Yeah, but I thought they released a leftover EP for CHz and was greatly disappointed that they released a shitty remixed album instead.

Kinda Bonkers 7.5/10
Peacemaker 6.5/10
Goalkeeper (sounds like a Centipede throwaway) 6/10
Jimmy Mack 8/10

7/10 overall

>>71049625
I like how the vocals is more annoying than Purple Bottle.

>>71049800
yeah, it's kind of amazing how he managed to replicate all the individual elements of The Purple Bottle pretty well and yet none of it ends up sounding good like it did in the original song.

Kinda Bonkers > Goalkeeper > Jimmy Mack > Peacemaker
Only listened to it once so far though.

>>71048480
Starting with Fall Be Kind is really bizarre.

I really like Kinda Bonkers. It sounds like what PW should have been like.

>>71049898
I would of picked Strawberry Jam and Merriweather Post Pavilion desu

Is Kinda Bonkers the first AnCo track to say "fuck"?

best track though

bad ep and I suck anco dick for breakfast

>>71049980
Laughing Hieroglyphic from Down There?

>>71047220
I like it a lot, giving out ratings at this point is just silly. It's obvious the middle two songs are meant to be growers while the bookends are strong singles which immediately leave a strong impression. That being said the vibe on the middle two songs was very cool and I think they should have been included on Painting With to give it just that little bit more room to breathe. Honestly if all these songs had been included on Painting With I feel it would have been an even stronger album, and I already like it quite a bit.

Is this EP actually good? I've heard pretty bonkers and desu its pretty cringe, cant stand the chorus and the lyrics are embarrassing

>>71051312
every song is fairly different to each other. expect a chill Panda/hocketing track, a very upbeat tweet pop track, and Jimmy Mack

>>71052341
Good for you, I've seen them twice this album. Twice during Chz too, and once during MPP. I wish the shows are as good, but their not. They lack the energy that previous era's had, but if you enjoyed them then I can't nor shouldn't take that away from you

>>71052311
not that anon, but every time I listen to live CHz stuff I just think of how much better the songs are on the album. honestly the only thing they did better then were MPP songs.

>>71052311
i'm open to being wrong and I guess it should be a subjective statement...what are your favorite CHz live songs?

>>71051464
They're live shows have always been polarizing as shit.

I think their current tour has been great.

I was at this show, and it was the best one I've been to by far. Opening with What Would I Want Sky?, the ChZ songs were better than on the album (except fuck wide eyed im sorry deak), LION IN A COMA, I think I Can, PEACEBONE every song played this night was amazing. They did a recording and made a live album for the night either after or before this, but I like the tracklist of this day better

if Peacemaker was on par with the others this could be an easy 9/10

>>71047220
Jimmy mack chorus sounds just like an old song

it has a female singer, it goes something like "I want my baby back"

>>71053059
you do realize Jimmy Mack is a cover right

>>71053078
haha yea thats why it sounds so familiar, i'm an idiot

>>71049223
I love el Deakinito's solo project but he was in CPHZ and it was terrible, I thinks it's more about the band as a whole

>>71053787
>CHz
>Terrible
Pleb.

>>71053787
CPHZ was still better than the insipid Painting With.

Calling CPHZ "terrible" because it wasn't another MPP would be like shitting on More Songs About Buildings And Food because it's not another Talking Heads: 77.

meanwhile, Painting With is True Stories.

>>71053916
what are your favorite songs off chz

CHz had:
Today's Supernatural
Rosie Oh
Applesauce
Wide Eyed
Monkey Riches
Mercury Man (amazing song IMO)
Pulleys
Amanita

Its a great album in comparison to Painting With.

>>71054097
Painting With has:
FloriDada
Hocus Pocus
Vertical
Lying in the Grass
The Burglars
On Delay
Golden Gal
Recycling

>>71054127

I really liked FloriDada, Vertical, On Delay, Golden Gal. The rest...I don't know. They were forgettable to me.

>>71054097
Centipde Hz is my favorite AnCo album but man I don't like Pulleys at all and Mercury Man isn't much better.

>>71054097
Mercury Man is awful
>>71054127
Not mentioning Bagels In Kiev

>>71048269
what the fuck? it's just a bunch of pictures of kevin spacey

>>71054188

>It must be somewhere, can't find it nowhere, is it me? I keep calling / it feels like no one is there

I loved Mercury Man quite a bit. Pulleys wasn't the best but it was better than Father Time.

>>71054188
The live version of Pulleys from Live At 9:30 made me like that song.

came here just to say that OP is fucking stupid

peacemaker is the second track on the album

listen 10 times (like you should to any anco song) and youll see the hocketing is much more refined and its closest to old anco

>>71054344
second best*

>>71054319
You legit think Lying In The Grass is worse than Father Time or Mercury Man?

>>71054368

Yes.

>>71054224
I actually thought father time was alright, not the best but not the worst, though I tend to hear it a lot due to Wide Eyed being one of my most listened to songs from the album next to maybe Monkey Riches.

>>71054396
Damn man, I'm sorry. I mean I guess it's cool that your tard wrangler lets you have Internet access.

>>71054420

Father Time is actually pretty good, maybe it had just been a while. I just gave it another couple of listens just now.

>>71054319
Nah, I won't.

But can we all agree that No More Runnin is the best track on MPP and possibly the entire 00's AnCo discography.

>>71054503

Such a damn good song. But, In the Flowers makes me feel some kind of way.

>>71054503
>>71054517
Bluish for me.

>>71054319
I can't pick a best but it's definitely not that, and that worst is just shit taste anon
>>71054503
that's easily the worst song on MPP tho

>>71054503
Best MPP track is either Guys Eyes or Taste

>>71054547

Another great pick, though I associate it with my ex-fiance. I think we can all agree that MPP is a great album, regardless.

>>71054503
Summertime clothes is the best MPP song imo, it is even better live.
The Purple Bottle and For Reverend Green are my favorite 00s AnCo songs though.

>>71054547
See, Bluish is like Lion In A Coma for me (AKA a great opportunity to skip forward)

>>71054517
I'm OK with that, I just like the atmosphere in No More Runnin' better. In the Flowers is up there though.

>>71054553
What's you're fav, then?

Where's the love for Safer and Cuckoo Cuckoo?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwc6UyhZLbc

>>71054638
Lion In A Coma is my other favorite from MPP. Gotta love that didgeridoo.

>>71054573
>Taste
Samefag here, and I am totally OK calling Taste the best song on the album. I live in Baltimore and NOTHING is better accompaniment to driving through the swampy country of southern Maryland or the Eastern Short on a hot, hazy summer afternoon quite like Taste.

>>71054594
Definitely better than MPP. For Reverend Green is easily the best SJ song.

>>71054689

Do you appreciate the subtleties of tastebuds, friendo?

>>71054638
pretty typical answer, but Brother Sport. Taste is close though, as is Daily Routine.
>>71054573
great Taste, anon :^)
Guys Eyes is my next favorite after the other tracks I listed

>>71052475
They never come to my country, saw them live for first time last year after seven years being a fan and they only played tracks from fucking PW.

So. Fuking. Disappointed.

>>71054751

They're coming to Charleston on May 7th. I am beyond excited.

Hopefully they won't cancel like Death Grips had to a year or so ago.

>>71054188
Have you listened to the version of Pulleys that they played on some radio station? It's on YouTube somewhere, but it is a superior version and made even like the original more

This is quite good. Anyone else think Avey's vocals are much better on this than PW? Definitely felt like something was missing.

>>71054849

Yeah, that scream.

Painting With would have been so much better if it wasn't for that god awful second track

>>71053916
I prefer CPHZ too, that doesn't make it automatically better, it came before a very long hiatus and right before their best era (imo)

The most frustrating thing about CPHZ is I'm sure they'd have released another 10/10 album if they just took a little bit more time to polish it, I see they had a very ambitious project in mind that was never properly finished

>>71054826

Don't mind me, just one of the best albums/songs from an AnCo member coming through:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zz2VGEQ4x-Y

Seriously though, this, Tomboy and Sleep Cycle are incredible solo works.

>>71055186
>>71055142
amazing EP, amazing track

>>71055186
Water Curses as a whole is just four 10/10 tracks\

Cobwebs is especially overlooked though

Fuck yes it is.

Gotta say, anons, I listen to a lot of Animal Collective but it feels good to step away and look at how massive and wonderful their library really is.

>>71055239
really? the opener and the two closer tracks are the ones i dislike the most from this album, that practically kills it for me, and I do love three umbrellas, oliver twist, heads hammock, bottom glass boat and ghost of books

>>71055141
I love People too, definitely one of my favourites as well.

>>71055292

Laughing Hieroglyphic helped me get through some tough stuff last year, when I was going through a break-up a week before my wedding. Ghost of Books is mind-blowing.

amazing thread

Kinda Bonkers: 7/10
Peacemaker: 8/10
Goalkeeper: 3/10
Jimmy Mack: 8/10

Overall: I need to listen to it more

Never could get into Tomboy. Down There and Sleep Cycle really are incredible though.

>>71055292
What!? Why!? The opener and closing tracks are the best parts of the album imo.

Surfer's Hymn made Tomboy for me.

Each Anco release really solidifies that fact that /mu/ has entered an era of hating the new music.

Unless you're counting Sleep Cycle this is the best AnCo release since Fall Be Kind

>>71055359

>and when I get fucked up, I do my best to make myself not fucked up again

I never had any preference towards profanity in songs, but I tell you what. When Avey does it, I get chills.

Watch this live performance, if just for when Avey screams GHOSTTTSSSS

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYX_T5oakYI

>>71055365
That is admittedly my favourite track on that album

>>71055365
that and Slow Motion really do make the album. listening to it more helped me get into many of the other tracks though. I'd recommend the single versions of songs too, Sonic Boom really stripped out some of the magic Panda put into some tracks.

>>71055416

Oh yeah. Pre-release Tomboy, Slow Motion and Last Night at the Jetty were fantastic.

The only way to listen to Tomboy IMO

>>71055369
Read the thread next time before posting.

>>71055435
if you didn't know, the special edition vinyl box set version of Tomboy has 'singles' versions of every track on the album, basically what they were like before Sonic Boom put his hands on them. for the most part it's a major improvement imo, the vocals are much more like Person Pitch and it just feels a bit more off-kilter/lo-fi in an appealing way. just a shame it's still never been released digitally.

Thoughts on Alvin Band?

>>71055180
There's An Arrow is definitely one of my favorites. Also Bat you'll fly is extremely underrated

>>71055462
Drove into a thunderstorm in a fishing town last summer listening to Tomboy as the title track came on. That's the only way to listen to Tomboy.

>>71055555
HOLY QUINTS

>>71055555

quints confirms

>>71055385
That video, holy shit.

>>71055416
Honestly my major complaint with Tomboy (and even PBVGR) was that the production just felt drab to me. Much prefer the Sonic Boom-less versions of post PP Panda stuff.
I actually prefer the fan mix (Tomboiled) over Tomboy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtXfzjoccMA

>>71055590

I know, right? Just seeing the energy he puts into that song, its hard not to fall in love with it after hearing this iteration.

>>71055511
pretty good, though I feel like he's mostly just compared to AnCo because he has vocal harmonies even though they aren't too similar at all. if anything, his remind me of the Beach Boys more than AnCo. still need to check out his newer stuff released under his own name.
>>71055590
when I first really got into Noah's solo work I felt like he wasn't a very good producer just due to how bland and pristine Tomboy and PBvsGR are overall. I feel like Sonic Boom helped a few songs (particularly on PBvsGR,) but it's really a shame that Panda's production sensibilities have never really been given a chance to shine. the aforementioned single mixes, the unreleased song he did for Atiba during the Tomboy era, and his unused PBvsGR instrumental mix make it obvious he has some great ideas on the instrumental/production side of things.
Tomboiled is pretty nice, but every time a fanmix like that is made the studio and live versions clash too much for me so I tend to just mess around with alternate tracklistings. the only fanmix that's ever really stood out to me was the one somebody did for Transverse Temporal Gyrus that takes the stems from the program and makes them into full-fledged tracks.

>>71055797

Rick Alvin huh? Hadn't heard anything under his actual name. Thanks for the tip.

>>71055960
no problem m80, he's ditched the name Alvin Band entirely for a while now and has a bunch of newer stuff on Bandcamp. just released something recently if I remember correctly.

>>71047800
motherfucker that has been a thing since the 60s
if you don't like it now fuck off

share that FLAC homegirl

KB: 7/10
Peacemaker 9/10
Goalkeeper: 7/10
Jimmy Mack: 9/10

Peacemaker's undertone vibe shifting mixed with the hocketing is what PW should have done better. Great EP. The transition from Goalkeeper to Jimmy Mack got me hype as hell breh

I actually think it's really good, although goalkeeper is kind of a weak point

>>71049287
HAHA dude I was thinking the exact same thing. Kinda made it hard to listen to after I noticed that

>>71051464
I saw them last May and it was fucking incredible. one of the best shows I've been to, and the PW songs sounded better live

>>71049780
they did release applesauce/crimson and honeycomb/gotham, which were fantastic tracks.

>>71047800
Do you actually listen to hindi music? You'd be surprised how much they sound like western music. Really the signature to hindi music is the vocal style which is obviously not what avey's doing

>>71048480
id switch MPP and Fall be kind. Also you could have connected the solo works a lot better to some albums, like down there sounds just like strawberry jam's later tracks. Also Enter the Slasher is no where and should be a branch off of CHz.

Kinda Bonkers > Peacemaker > Goalkeeper > Jimmy Mack

>>71057956
Jimmy Mack is great though
I'd put Peacemaker last, even though I think it's quite underrated
Pretty good EP desu

>>71050131
double all of those scores at least

Peacemakers one of the best songs they've written since merriweather.

>>71052214
lying in the grass is one of the worst songs they've ever written imo and I really don't think I hear the same song other people do.

>>71047220

Why do "actual" bands release EPs these days? Unless they're free samplers I guess. It's one thing for a bedroom or garage project to do it but it just seems like a waste of time to make something so short, just triple it and you've got another album.

>>71058407
That's nuts. I Iove Lying in the Grass.

>>71058455
All of AnCo's ep's are just tracks that didn't make it on the album

Kinda Bonkers is pretty damn good. Super cool vocal sample as a melody/rhythm. I really, really don't like the lyrics though. It's like a 6.5

Peacemaker is one of the best songs they've put out since ODDSAC. Definitely the best song from this era, an easy 8.5

Goalie is pretty cool, it kind of reminds me of like the Taste of this generation--stylistically it's sort of the most generic but in the same way it's kind of like the perfect encapsulation of the style. I'd give it a 7.5

Jimmy Mack is fun but it's not super creative soundwise. I'd give it a 7.

Overall this EP is the best AC release since ODDSAC I'd say.

>>71049161
explain how MPP is so great then?

I like this EP, I think it's a good direction for their sound. I hate that weird belchy noise on Jimmy Mack though, hopefully they drop that
